Who here runs a company?
Who here runs a successful company with managers who have no background in the company's products or services?
Answer is no one?
Unless this guy has an outdoor heritage that goes back generations he is gonna suck at his job like his predecessors.
It should be a prerequisite for the job.
It's like giving the job of Minister of Transportation to a guy who has never had a driver's license.
He would never be in tune with "transportation issues".He couldn't be,no way,it's common sense.
We who live in Ont cannot fully understand and appreciate issues afflicting Canadians in other Provinces.We may say we do but we don't.But a farmer in Ont has a better handle on and can better empathize with farmers in Saskatchewan because they having farming in common.
It is hard to understand what it is like to lose a parent if both of yours are still alive.
As constituents WE the people should insist on it.Ministers should have a background in the ministry they represent.That goes for not only the minister but all high ranking positions.Just like my company example,it is the only key to company success.It should be the most important issue/question we should be asking the party leaders before election time.
Stores who's staff know little of the products they sell close.
Don't believe me just look at the LeBaron chain.

I remember when one Provincial party got elected they were so short of talent we got a housewife with 3 kids at home to be Attorney General no legal background.

The last Premier to really understand our issues was The Honourable John Robarts 1961 to 1971. He was a hunter and from all accounts a good Premier.
